I have always been interested in American history, even before I had it in eighth grade, 60 years ago. And now, according to those surveys that pop up on Google, I am very knowledgeable about American history.

I love history. Mostly American, but I'd like to learn more about Russian and Chinese history.

I am no expert and not in the profession but I take a great interest in it for a hobby including reading my favorites of "period cozy mysteries"

GOD BLESS YOU, RETIRED EDUCATOR!! We need great Teachers today so badly but more than that, we need state, federal & community backing of these vital educators who influence our children ( and therefore, our nation's future!). I VERY MUCH SUPPORT & APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!

School didn't teach enough. I have tried to learn plenty since, though history isn't my favorite subject.

A little. It’s very interesting! It’s our roots. But I like positivity.

I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!

My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

My birthstone is Amethyst. I like it. I like the color. But one, I prefer Emeralds. And two, I don't wear jewelry anymore.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.
